SX5373082349 From the car park take the track east to Nattor Farm. Here bear left to reach a leat which carries water from the River Tavy, a relic from copper mining in the area. A footpath follows the leat upstream, as it curves north into the mouth of Tavy Cleave. You'll soon reach the small building at the inlet.

SX5492982989 The path now continues along the north (true right) bank of the River Tavy, which forms a series of attractive waterfalls and pools. The trail is indistinct in places, and the going varies between wet-and-muddy and rough-and-rocky. In this neck of the woods a 'cleave' is a steep valley, and Tavy Cleave is one of the best and wildest of them. Continue up-valley as it makes a 90-degree bend, passing below rocky mini summits before reaching a wider area where the cleave splits into two branches. If you're interested in archaeology, Watern Oke is just up the right branch.

SX5604783783 Turning left, follow the west side of Rattle Brook upstream for a few hundred metres, staying some way above the stream. Here the trail braids into several vague strands, and the ground is particularly boggy. As you near Dead Lake, a side stream coming in from the left, bear left to begin the ascent towards Hare Tor. There's not much of a path, the rolling slope is featureless, and the military track marked on maps isn't as useful as you might think, so if in doubt it's probably worth taking a bearing for Hare Tor. As you ascend this little rocky peak soon comes into view, topped with an army marker pole.

SX5505884235 Descend quite steeply south from the summit, then follow easy ground southwest to Ger Tor, which overlooks the mouth of Tavy Cleave. From here the car park at Lanehead can be seen, and it's a straightforward descent, crossing a footbridge over the leat as you go.
